ANDREW SHIIRA ARREST PROFESSIONAL

There are a lot of hurtful, false, and stupid things Christians teach and believe about singleness, dating, and marriage. I mean, please! As though God is more lax and forgiving towards a child- diddler than a normal person? Get bent.īut so much of the Christian dating advice, the “how to get married” advice I saw and heard from Christians (in person or read in books or on blogs) is predicated on this faulty type of thinking. If God is permitting deviants like the sicko in the news story below to become engaged to be married – a nasty ass pedophile of all things! – there’s absolutely no reason to adhere to a false theology that God has special, stricter rules for “permitting” a non-pedophile adult single to become engaged. Let this also be a lesson that contra to what so many Christians teach about dating and marriage, that one does not have to be perfect in any way to “deserve” a spouse, or to be “worthy” of a spouse. My point is that one limiting one’s self to any one group of men based on religious criteria (whether Mormon only, Christian only, atheist only, ‘whatever’ only) is needlessly limiting one’s dating pool. My view does not have to contain the premise that ALL atheists and other flavors of Non-Christians are angelic and marriage-material. I am well aware of the fact that Non-Christian men can be pigs and horrible, too. “But what about all the bad atheist men out there?!! Don’t tell me that all non-Christian men are wonderful!” Than to marry an abusive or perverted man who believes in, and who confesses, Jesus as his savior, and who regularly attends church and does all the other things that appear to be the marks of an actual Christian to most other believers.ĭisclaimer for the annoying female Christians who like to bray on my blog when I mention all this: It would be better for a single Christian woman who desires marriage to marry a loving, non-perverted atheist (or Hindu or Druid or whatever) There are a lot of men out there, who appear to be genuine Christians (whether they are actually Christian or not is immaterial to single Christian women who find them on dating sites and so on), who are actually great big perverts. No, the “equally yoked” rule so many Christians like to cram down the throats of singles is of no import – another example further below in this post. We also pray for everyone who is negatively impacted by this situation.Church Director, Seminary Student Set to Wed in November Arrested for Child Pornography
